Nutritional values

One portion of this salad contains your daily target of vitamins A, C, and E and 70% of your daily iodine intake. Folic acid is also well represented with about 50% of your daily requirement, which is particularly important for nursing and expectant mothers. The chicory also boosts the formation of digestive juices through bitter substances, promoting the health of the liver, bile, pancreas and intestines.

If you don't like poppy seeds, you can use sunflower, pistacchio, or pine nuts instead. Chop them finely and roast them briefly, so the kernels develop a a stronger flavor and aroma.
